If wishes were horses Beggars would ride I'm livin' on nothin' but My hard luck and pride I could use your company I could use a friend I'm feelin' like a willow tree I always have to bend It's a house full of lonely And I live inside A thousand reflections On this carnival ride Some are fat and some are thin Some a crooked line I can't tell which frame I'm in It's like I'm spinning blind If wishes were horses Beggars would ride I'm livin' on nothin' but My hard luck and pride Won't you tell me a story You can take your time There's no place that I have to be and I don't really mind I like the way you talk to me I hope you understand You've got my trust and sympathy Anything If I can If wishes were horses Beggars would ride I'm livin' on nothin' but My hard luck and pride
